Feeding frenzy at the famous garden in Takamatsu.

Although I'm now in England, this blog will still feature photos from Japan for the foreseeable future.

I apologise in advance if I'm tardy with commenting on your blogs or returning comments during the week... I will get to you though!

frenzy is the right word to describe that scene.. sometimes can feel that way on the subway here in new york.

A very colorful feeding frenzy! I have one far less colorful from the lake in our town.

Of course, there would be no Japanese garden without the "water-pigs"!!! They are such a photographic temptation, especially when they show their greed! Love them!!!
